Love Letters

“My reasons for booking were for confidence, self esteem, to feel hot as fuck!

I loved how easy and comfortable the whole thing was. I went into it feeling pretty anxious but all that went away the second I walked through the door.

When I first saw my photos it was honestly overwhelming! I’ve always struggled with body positivity and can normally find something I dislike in any photo taken of me, but I felt so amazing in my boudoir photos. It was the first time in a long time that I’ve actually loved photos of myself!

Lexy, you’re amazing!! Keep doing what you do. You’re going to continue to help a lot of people fall in love with themselves.”

“I have wanted to for a very long time, then I won a giveaway so it was a sign that it was finally my time! I was so nervous but So excited! It felt perfect to use as a birthday gift for my husband.

My favorite part was just seeing myself in a way I don’t ever see myself. I truly felt beautiful in the pictures and normally that’s just not how I see myself, as much as I wish I did.

When I saw the photos of myself at the reveal I felt so shocked and happy. Again, seeing myself in a way I don’t usually see myself just felt so good.

Overall I’m just extremely happy I did this and so pleased with how they turned out. I think everyone should have a boudoir shoot at least once in their life because we all deserve to feel the way I felt after Lexy worked her magic with me.

If you’re considering booking, don’t wait! It’s definitely something you won’t regret doing.”

“I have struggled with body issues after gaining a lot of weight over the last 10 or so years. I wanted to do something to celebrate the body I am in- that may not be where I want it to be but is mine and is strong and beautiful and takes me wherever I need to be in life.

I was surprised at how comfortable I got so soon! I was expecting to feel awkward throughout the whole session and that definitely wasn’t the case! I don’t think I can pick a favorite part. I loved each individual minute of it for so many different reasons. From getting dolled up and looking like a queen to trying new poses that I never would have thought of, to seeing the raw pictures on the camera. I loved it all!

When I went to my reveal and saw my photos for the first time I was surprised! It gave me a whole new outlook on my body and how beautiful it actually is. Yes, there are still parts of it that I don’t like, but after looking at my pictures I hate those parts a little less now. I didn’t think that I could look that “sexy” and the pictures are proof that I can!

If a friend were interested in a session, I would tell them to do it! I’ve already told so many friends that it was a great experience and can’t wait to do it again in the future. Of course it’s going to feel awkward at first but after the first 10 minutes you will feel completely comfortable and at ease and it’s so much freaking fun!

I loved every minute of my session. You’re so easy to work with and made me feel at ease. I know everyone says that but it’s completely different until you experience it yourself. I can’t wait to get my images back and I can’t wait to do another session with you in the future!”

“I booked a boudoir session because I wanted to try something new! The shoot itself was my fave part and I was surprised with how comfortable I was right away. When I saw my photos I was AMAZED! I just love that Lexy made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole thing. If you’re thinking about doing a session DO ITTTT! it’s such a confidence booster & it was real fun.”

“I booked this session because I won a giveaway!!! Aside from that... Self-love, turning 30 flirty and thriving, then we got engaged! Also... THE OPPORTUNITY!

My favorite part of being in the experience is the energy with everyone!!! I mean, you KNOW the day is ALL ABOUT YOU !!!! You are a queen for life, but idolized completely during the time you spend with Lexy and Shae! They remind you how stunning you are!

I also really loved the old-timey, Renaissance, hollywood type feels.... Lexy set me up nicely with the outfits I brought for my shoot!

So listen... Do the thang! There’s something timeless about capturing yourself completely how you are RIGHT now... in this moment. Showing how authentic and powerful you really are!”

“I booked this session for some more confidence and because I love the pictures that are taken!

If you’re thinking about doing a session… DO IT!!!!

I was so excited to see my photos at the reveal and I loved everything about my session!”

“I wanted to surprise my wife with a fun experience that not everyone has done. She had talked about doing something like this for years but had never really done it. Our anniversary from when we first started dating 11 years ago was coming up so i thought it would be a good time to do something special. It was something scary and exciting all at once.

The whole experience was something so special- I can’t pick out just one thing that was my favorite. The reveal of our pictures was AMAZING THEY TURNED OUT FANTASTIC! They amazed us and had us wanting to come back and do more. We recommended some friends to give it a shot as well.

If we had any concerns on anything or questions Lexy answered them and put our minds at ease. She makes it very easy for everyone to enjoy their shoot and have a great time.”

“Lexy made me feel so relaxed and at ease because I was so nervous before! Also her stylist Shae did an AMAZING job with my makeup!!

I loved that Lexy told me how to position my body! I’m so awkward that I never know what to do with my hands. She also hyped me up the whole time! I was surprised that I would be comfortable going topless! I was very shy at first but by the end I was on board!”

“This is my last pregnancy and wanted to embrace every moment of it, and I wanted to feel extremely sexy during my last months until I have my son.

The environment was so welcoming and comfortable, Lexy and Kasie firing me up while I was posing, and Zeppy was so funny photo-bombing!!

LEXY IS THE SHIT!!!! I CANT WAIT TO BOOK AGAIN FOR THE 3RD TIME!!!!”

“Lexy is like having your own personal cheerleader! Telling you how wonderful and beautiful you are as she is taking pictures. I don’t think the girl has a negative cell in her body. It would be great to have her in your ear every day telling you how great you are!”

“Loved every minute and definitely want to do again!”

“I loved how easy going it was. I didn’t feel I had to be “stuck” in a pose. Lexy loves movement and to capture what feels natural for the most part. She will show you some posses but gets down and explains how to do it instead of just using words and you sitting there confused or moving the wrong arm/leg/foot/hand.

During the wedding, I did not get any “spicy” pictures of me and my dress. This was sort of my redemption because I LOVE my dress and wanted to capture that.

Lexy is BOMB at what she does. Worth every single penny. DO. THE. SHOOT!”

“I previously did my own boudoir session with Lexy as an anniversary gift for my husband. I loved the experience and he loved the photos. So when I saw Lexy posting more about couples sessions, I brought it up to Levi and he was excited to schedule a session together.

Boudoir is one of the best self-love experiences you can do and you’re one of the easiest, most comforting, and most creative photographers out there in this field.

I was so happy that I could come to Lexy with my ideas and have her be so excited about them. It made me feel validated to be a part of the process and end product. She made my vision a reality and that’s pure talent and outstanding attention to detail. Lexy has unbeatable knowledge about her craft and great customer relation skills. I would recommend this experience to anybody looking to get closer to their significant other or spice things up.”

“My favorite part of the session was realizing I was comfortable enough so be vulnerable in an exposed situation. I was able to focus on my wife the whole time. Lexy made me feel like no one else was in the room.

The first thing I said to my wife after everybody left was “can we do that every night?!” I could squeeze her butt for photos any day of the week.”

“My favorite part about the session was the giggles. I have to say, going in, we thought we would be more hot and heavy and horny. It ended up just being another fun adventure that showed our true love and passion for each other.

Lexy made us feel totally free. When she was directing us, it was solely for the best angle/look for the photo.

She constantly pepped us up and told us how amazing we were doing! We walked away with a new experience in our belt that we will love to tell friends about and look back on in our photo album for years to come.

I’m not a fan of my body, but I didn’t see that when I was looking through photos. I saw the love and passion C and I have for each other. I saw my hands all over the woman I love and the pleasure we give each other.”

“We booked this session to help us both love our bodies. I also enjoyed the opportunity to become an example of love for the lgbtq+ community.

The bathtub was definitely my favorite part. Those photos are some of my favorites!”

“Yesterday was incredible, amazing, affirming in so many ways.

I had the privilege and the joy of being part of a photo project for Lexy Larson-Anderson (Boudoir by Lexy). She is doing a project to chronicle and present the stories and real-selves of tranagender and non-binary folk in the Cedar Valley.

When she reached out to me about being part of her project, I was initially excited and then consumed with worry and doubt.

As a trans woman i find myself comparing myself to cis women on a daily basis. Am I dressing right? Am I too tall? Are my feet and hands too big? My face is too masculine. My shoulders too wide. My voice too deep. I’m full of doubts and worries. Feelings of not being good enough, pretty enough.

In most of my personal pictures I use filters to hide the faults I see. Now, I was being asked to place myself in another person’s hands. I would not be in control. There would be no filters to hide behind. I was excited, but terrified.

I arrived at her working location, a quirky and charming airbnb in Waterloo. She put me at ease immediately. She was so excited. Her enthusiasm countered my fears and overwhelmed them. My worries and doubts, my feelings of not being “enough” vanished.

I was enough because I was me, and I am more than good enough for anything. While she worked, while she posed me and directed me I felt beautiful. She declared picture after picture, shot after shot how much she loved it, how pretty I looked. These weren’t just words, I could hear the truth of the words in the emotions of her voice. I was pretty. I was sexy. I was female.

I have to wait several weeks before I get to see the photo results of yesterday. But, I don’t need to see them to know what will be in those pictures. A quirky, geeky, complex, contemplative, beautiful, powerful woman. I know because I saw that woman during the shoot. I saw her. I see her. She is me.”

“I’ve told a bunch of friends and family to check you out because it is truly an amazing experience!

My favorite part of the session was the laughs! I haven’t had that much fun in awhile and it felt so good to be able to be myself. Lexy and my two best friends made it awesome! It was just so much fun!

Everyone should book a session! I know it’s hard when it comes to money and finding the time of even the confidence but I promise it is so worth it! Lexy is so understanding and just wants to show you how beautiful you really are!”

“I wanted to love myself and feel beautiful. I heard Lexy was the best and her page and albums were awesome so I booked!

My favorite part was the reveal! I have never loved how I looked but Lexy made me feel so beautiful and sexy. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I LOVE YOU GIRL. Thanks for making me feel beautiful for the first time in a very long time!”

“My wife brought up the idea to me and I thought it would be a good experience to share with her. Plus I get to look at her hot ass professionally!

I had a good time and enjoyed Lexy making us feel totally comfortable and at ease throughout the process.
Also, thanks for all the pictures of my wife’s ass!”

“Lexy did an amazing job with both our wedding photos and my individual boudoir shoot. I wanted to see the magic happen with both my husband and myself in this kind of shoot.

I loved how relaxed everyone was! Lexy did a great job of letting us be natural with each other. Perfect amount of professional guidance and also let us take the reins.

We had so much fun with this shoot. Lexy is so talented and just the most open-minded and skilled photographer. It’s been so cool to watch her journey into the world of boudoir photography and really find her passion!”

“I booked this session because I loved seeing everyone’s pictures and how much they enjoyed their session in the Facebook group, as well as a Christmas present.

My favorite part was feeling completely comfortable doing something I have never done and having fun doing it!”

“I wanted to get a gift for my boyfriend and I love being Lexy’s model. In all honesty, it was more for me than anything.

My favorite part about my session was that I was able to forget about my pain. I was on my period, super bloated and my PCOS was acting up. I was able to forget about all of that and feel beautiful and empowered. I felt so good the day after too! I was able to put on makeup and be the badass woman I know I am.

Lexy is seriously amazing. Like I’ve said several times, she made me feel so beautiful and confident despite the fact that I was dealing with period pains. I was really nervous going into this session because I didn’t feel like I prepared enough and I wasn’t in the right mindset for this shoot, but then we got to the location and Lexy started her photography magic and all of that just melted away!

I was completely comfortable and the session was even more fun than my first one. She made sure I wasn’t in pain when we did difficult poses and constantly asked if I needed anything. Have you ever had a photographer do that for you? Doubt it! It’s really hard to say just how grateful I am to her in just a short little message but I owe her a lot.

She brings so much joy into these sessions and I can’t get enough! She goes above and beyond for all of her clients and I can’t wait for the next session with her.”

“
I’ve spent most of my life priding myself on my confidence and self-love. I’ve been proud to be able to an example of how a woman can love and embrace their body, even as a bigger woman. And many women have asked how I did it. I never really had an answer, until now. This year, I lost so much confidence. I didn’t carry myself the same. I didn’t embrace my body and my curves like I used to. I became more critical of photos of me. I grew to hate what I saw in the mirror.

And then something inside me switched and I decided I couldn’t live my life like that for another minute. So the last couple months have been dedicated to me regaining my confidence. And I finally found the answer to gaining self confidence. Simply put, you have to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Self love is intentional. It requires being mindful. Start by looking at yourself in the mirror and saying, out loud, things you love about you (shoutout to my mama for teaching me that one). Wear the clothes that make you feel comfortable. If you want to put on your makeup and do up your hair, do it. You deserve to feel good about you.

A few weeks ago, I pushed myself WAY out of my comfort zone. I did a buduoir photoshoot. I was shy and embarrassed. But the photographer was incredible, I made a playlist to help me get in the right headset and the photos turned out INCREDIBLE. For the first time in a long time, I remembered what it felt to look at myself and go DAMN.

So here’s to confidence. To self love. To being brave. To feeling sexy and deserving. To embracing our bodies. To empowering one another, and challenging ourselves to be our best selves. To doing it afraid. To believing we’re beautiful and sexy and fierce, without relying on anyone else to make us feel those things.

Thank you, Lexy for the incredible photos and for playing a paramount role in me regaining self-love. And for anyone who has ever considered it, I would 100% recommend boudoir.

You’re worth it.”

“Had a great time at my session today. Went in nervous as heck and self-conscious. Left feeling beautiful and amazing! Lexy I can’t thank you enough!

All of my photos were amazing it was so hard to choose. I will absolutely do another session. I am recommending Lexy to all of my friends. The experience was wonderful and so much more self fullfilling than I ever expected. I went in self conscious and nervous, I left feeling beautiful and sexy, thanks to Lexy and her uplifting, happy, positive nature.”

“I am so in love with my photos! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I can NOT wait to see what my hubby has to say!!!”

“I would like to say something about having anxiety and depression, and how overcoming fear is hard but worth it. Even though I have been called fat I am still beautiful.

Negative self talk can do so much harm to ourselves. I felt nervous at first but you made it easy to relax and feel sexy.

I wasn’t confident on what to wear or how I looked but with your client closet I was able to feel beautiful! And getting my hair and makeup done was definitely worth it

Thank you for the great boudoir shoot today Lexy! Ladies, Lexy is great to work with! I’d definitely recommend her for your photography needs!”

“I loved it all! Lexy made me feel comfortable and at home!”

“Lexy is very good at making you feel comfortable during the photo shoot. She was really good at showing poses and putting my body in positions most flattering!”

“Lexy is the bomb dot com and I can’t wait to book another session with her!”

“I just loved how open it was. I have never really been scared to show my body, but some people make it awkward- Lexy did not.

Everything was very natural and laid back. I love that I got to do my photos in water, which is my natural element!

I just want to thank you for this whole experience Lexy. Like I said before, I was hating my body before my shoot. I had worked so hard to lose weight before I got pregnant, and then of course I gained some back when I got pregnant. I remember the day of my photo shoot I was so depressed, and I did it anyway. I was at peace during my shoot. And now, being able to see these photos for the rest of my life, to see the miracle of life. There is nothing more beautiful. Thank you!”

“Guys... My photo reveal was so amazing. They were everything i could have hoped for.

This was seriously one of the best experiences in my life. I went home last night and cried, because I couldn’t believe I have been so mean to myself in the past.

Looking at my pictures I saw something in me I didn’t before. My new goal is to be more patient with myself.. more kind to myself.. to fall in love with the pieces of me that are broken all over again.

I guess I’m kind of ranting now, but i just want to say thank you to Lexy for starting this group, for taking amazing photos of us, and putting out a vibe of self love. You rock Lexy! Please don’t ever stop! You’re making a bigger difference than you know.”

“Lexy, you have made me feel sexy and confident! Seriously. This whole experience has been amazing for me.

You are sooo wonderful and what you do! Extremely professional in taking pictures and keeping in contact with your clients. I seriously cannot thank you enough!”

“I’d been putting off doing a boudoir session for a few years; convincing myself that I could do one as a reward once I had lost weight. It wasn’t until I was added to your body-positive groups that I decided it was now or never - and now was the best time to jump in and book the session.

I am so glad I did; and seeing some of my external features highlighted in a tasteful and attractive way immediately made me more confident about the way I internally feel about myself.

I am so glad that I chose to book the session. I hope that women or men of any size choose to invest in themselves so they can see and appreciate who they truly are.”

“I have always struggled with being shy and uncomfortable with my body. Going into the session I was super nervous but it didn’t take long until I was comfortable and having fun.

The unconventional location fit right in with my personal style and made me like myself. I loved the whole session and can’t wait to work with Lexy again”

“I have never felt good about my body in my life. I was so excited and nervous for the session and I look at my body a completely different way! Thanks to you I can see myself in a different light and take the necessary steps to love myself! Lexy is super amazing at making everyone feel sexy”

“I wanted a change and to do something to something different and feel great about myself.

I had a blast and finally got to see myself as other people do. It’s worthwhile and the other day I looked at myself in the mirror and actually felt like I could honestly be as proud of the person I am on the outside as I am on the outside. ”

“For everyone who’s been telling me lately “oh I couldn’t do it I’ve gained so much weight,” “oh I don’t like this or that on me” or “oh I’m not that confident...”

YALL JUST DO IT.

I’ve got a big ass, cellulite, and a belly. I made two humans but even if I didn’t, so what.

My daughter thinks my body is beautiful. Which will lead to her some day knowing her body is beautiful. Which will lead to my granddaughters some day loving their bodies.

The time is now. Break the mold by loving your damn self.

Please think about doing this for yourself.

TREAT YO SELF GIRLS”

“Everyone deserves to feel beautiful and Lexy does an amazing job of doing that. I loved the reveal and how laid back it was. It was a 100% body-positive situation that increased my self-esteem, and was super fun all around!

Boudoir seems pricey to some, but it is so worth it. You can’t put a price tag on self-confidence and self-love. I hope everyone tries a session at least once in their life. It’s a game changer for sure!”

“My favorite part of the session was how comfortable Lexy made me feel. I was so nervous waking up in the morning and anticipating the whole experience. But once I got there and let go of my insecurities, I had the an amazing time. I’m already contemplating when I could do my next session, or get one scheduled with my hubby. I was smiling the whole day afterwards.”

“My favorite part of the session was the overall look when my hair and makeup and outfit were done. I picked a look that I didn’t think I could really pull off because it’s a look that my Fiance likes. With Alli and Lexy’s help, I definitely pulled it off! Lexy is very professional and super easy to work with. I’m a pretty confident girl, but I was nervous about the pictures anyway. She made it really easy.”
